No, it will teach you what all the kana and kanji mean. But its not a dictionary where you can write something and it converts it.

Any particular reason why Tiffania and her mother were targeted for execution? I probably couldn't find the answer amid the posts unless it was just the simple matter of them being elves.

[Matt122005]

I think it was just because they were elves.

I have a decent question... i think...
Since the last 2 seasons ended with a battle where in the novel shall season 3 end...? or will they just finish it... cuz i see vol 14 is out but nobody is really talking about it...is this the last vol? And does louise ever tell saito she loves him? or does it pretty much stay the same like in the show...(only comparing the romance part between novel and show lol...)

I think it is highly likely that season three will end with the Tabitha rescue mission part, since her familiar is shown in human form in the OP.
Then again, because the anime is a complete butchering of the novel, I have no idea if they plan to the the Tabitha thing, or something else involving Tabitha.

Vol.14 is out, and no one is talking about it because there is nothing left to talk about...

No, there are more volumes.

I think it is highly likely that season three will end with the Tabitha

yup S 3 will end in book 10

there is nothing left

that the 4th familiar is saito shocked me a lot

No... who said that? Saito isn't Tiffania's familiar.

[AnCri123]

Uhh, you people confuse me...Who is what's familiar now?
Can someone confirm what is known so far about the 4 void users and their familiars?

Louise/Saito is pretty self explanatory,
Sheffield's master is most likely that blue haired guy, King of Gallia..
I heard Tifannia is also a void user, I think? then who's her familiar?
And what about the 4th void user that nobody know anything about?

Louise=Saito (Gandalf, master of weapons)
Joseph=Sheffield (ミョズニトニルン, master of magic tools)
Damn Pope Holy Aegis 32nd Vittorio=Julio (Vindalf, can control animals/beasts)
Tiffania=None (4th unknown familiar, likely to be able to control human hearts)

Ruby of water --> Louise
Ruby of fire --> Damn Pope
Ruby of earth --> Joseph
Ruby of wind --> Tiffania

[AnCri123]

Thanks, it all fits together now. Didnt know about the Pope/Julio since i cant read ahead of the translations ... Are these guys friendly to the main characters or are they also into "I will rule the world, bow before me, minions" thing? Has Julio shown his vildalfr powers yet? ( actually, on second thought, it somewhat makes sence since he can control his dragons so well)

And what about Tifannia? Will she have to summon a familiar or does it already exist somewhere but we dont know about it yet?

Sigh.. I'm torn between wanting to ask for spoilers or instead waiting to read it for myself

[Darknemo2000]

Well, Julio was read to kill Saito if he would have tried to return home (would have killed him from the back) so it basically sums up how 'Friendly' they are to main the characters... And don't get me started about the damn freako pope.

Anyways, finished chapter 2 of volume 6, which means that first three chapters of volume 6 are translated. Yay.

i've read it 10 minutes ago

the Pope isnt better than the other physical unstable charakter Joseph

[Darknemo2000]

Fast people are fast...

Anyhow Louise/Cattleya was rather cute and also beware of the power of drunken maids frenzy, lol. Still Siesta was bit cruel (though right on spot) with that board comment.

I'm probably going to translate chapter 6 now (as chapter 4 is on Serenades list, and chapter 5 is taken by other translator).

[gugumomu]

Siesta was unnecessary brutish towards Louise, but we can forgive her, she was drunk. i lol'd at the poor speachless Louise who could only admit total defeat against the "power of drunken maids frenzy" you can't argue with a drunk person.
Saito was rather spineless again, with no will to stop Siesta from drinking. good thing he passed out

LOL!

Maybe she was a bit cruel, but I think it's necesary in the process of bringing Louise down to the ground. I mean, making her realize she's not such a big deal (yes she controls void, but as a human being...).

[_kira_]

thanks for vol.6 ch.3...

you guys are translating fast these days...
keep up the good work and keep em coming...

thanks!
